Family Pizzeria & Restaurant

Always a great time when we stop in for dinner. Pizza to go is always incredible, too. The servers are wonderful, full of personality and quickly fulfill requests. The food is always fresh and delicious. I can’t say enough good things about this place. The stuffed mushrooms are our favorite, make sure you try those. If you’re a fan of sausages without too much fat/​grease you’ll love the ones here. The pasta dishes are great too, never over cooked. We went here instead of Olive Garden and I’m SO glad we did; now we’re regulars!

The wings extra crispy were great. No fat left under the skin, and lots of flavor in the crisp. The meatballs, sausage and pasta were just average though. The dining area is well lit, and clean. The staff are friendly, and attentive.

I had the meatball grinder and it was good. Don’t call it a «sandwich» or they might look at you like you’re speaking with a funny accent… Oh wait, that’s THEM! Pizza was good too. I’m not a big pizza gal but this place is my bf’s favorite so they must be alright. Pizzas are HUGE too. Come hungry.

Great pizza and friendly staff. Can’t go wrong with a sausage and onion pizza, simply amazing. Dine-​in or take-​out, the food and service is top notch!

This is the pizza we’ve been looking for since we moved to the area in August 2014. The crust is perfection, the sauce is delicious, and the toppings are delicious. I’ve never had such perfect bacon on a pizza.
Fried mozzarella was yummy too. Service was good as well.

If you want the best pizza in Springfield, here it is. If you want excellent Italian food, here it is.
I’ve been eating here for years, and it’s consistently excellent.

Yep, still my #1 pizza… anywhere. I always take a party pizza home to NC with me.

Awesome everything! The staff is very nice and the service is better than any chain restaurant you will go to. I’d give it more stars if I could

They have great food great prices and wonderful pizza The chicken franchise is off the chart.

They have an awesome white pizza that has won our hearts. Great garlic, herb topping and good cheese make this pizza fantastic (we like it with spinach and roasted red peppers). We love their crust, it’s the best out of the half dozen local places we have tried, including Red Rose! Since the crust is so good, the calzone is great too. At some point we’ll have to try the regular pizza but it is hard to order anything but the white pizza since it is sooooo good!

This pizza is the best around here, good place, friendly staff, the sauce is great and love their menu.

After a night of celebrating some school successes, my little sister and I decided that pizza would be the only thing to really hit the spot. A friend of mine orders from Family all the time and I knew I wanted to order the same big ‘olé pizza she always gets. It seemed too large to be «just a large», so when I placed the order I requested, «whatever size that giant pizza is». To my astonishment, they make a «party pizza» that is likely about 3 feet x 2 feet of absolute scrumptiousness. However, it is impossibly huge! Apparently their large pizza is in fact NOT the biggest pizza they make. But, who can complain about a pizza that’s too big?! Especially at this place! This is definitely the best pizza in the area and I’ve tried all of the other popular ones. The prices are also super reasonable for the quality ingredients they use. The crust is buttery and crispy. It’s insanely good.

This is a very solid Italian American restaurant that does many things extremely well. Their pizza is way above the average as are the classic Italian American dishes such as Meat Balls and Spaghetti, White clam sauce and linguine and so forth. Their red sauce is extremely good using a little trick I often do at home when I’m making my red sauce. I would tell you what it is but that would spoil the fun of discovering it on your own, so stop in and check it out and see if you don’t agree, whether this little place should not always be on your short list when you crave Italian.

Very hospitable. I live in Omaha, NE. I was home to take care of my father. I needed a place to go at the end of the day to relax and get some healthy food. I ate Chicken Tortellini soup with bread for dinner for nearly two weeks. I would have a nice glass of wine and watch a little TV while sitting at the bar. The other customers were ver nice, everyone was friendly. Thanks to Family Pizza for welcoming me home and taking such good care of me. I have been a fan of Family Pizza since I was a little girl, I am now 48! The pizza is still great after all these years!

Sausage and Pepperoni good pie. Had the veal too all good. My son and I were staying at a local hotel and wanted food to go. Kind of disappointed when I asked for some paper plates and a plastic fork and knife the gal just said «no». How about a little love for your out of town guests!

Honestly, the best family Italian resteraunt in Spfld! The hosts, Yolanda, Ralfie and Jerry are welcoming, sincere and do one hell of a job making u feel at home. Veal Saltimboca is the best ever! The veal Marsala is to die for and if there’s something not on their menu, just ask and you’ll get it. Awesome spot!

Heavy Bias, But Genuinely Delicious! A True FAMILY Restaurant!
Let me start off by saying that I worked at Family Pizzeria for about two and a half years while in high school. I still go back there whenever I’m visiting my parents and get a craving for pizza in Springfield.
I know from experience that the key to a great pizza is the dough, and the sauce.
The great thing about the pizza at Family is that the crust is crunchy. It’s just thick enough to not give way when piled high with toppings. Not too thick, not too thin. They use a stone bottom oven that toasts it up nicely, and take great care in making sure the pizza cooks to perfection, and without any giant bubbles or areas that are missing cheese.
The old location on Dickinson St. across from the fire station was one of my childhood favorites, even before I landed a job there. The location has changed, but the quality and friendly atmosphere is exactly the same!
5 stars all the way!

Family Pizza is a fairly typical independent Italian restaurant but they do a better job of it than most. The menu includes the usual pizza, grinders (subs) and dinners. They recently moved to a newly renovated building after many years in the neighborhood. The new restaurant is MUCH nicer than most pizza shops with brick walls, comfortable furniture, good lighting.
The pizza is very good to excellent. They have the usual Italian American dinners, eggplant rollatini and pasta bolognese are favorites of ours. They have a somewhat limited selection of beer and wine. I’d like to see more micro-​brews and some better wines. Family pizza is a good name, not just because they are family owned but because they are a suitable destination if you are bringing kids.

Springfield Pizza at it’s best!!! If you’re not sure what I mean by Springfield Pizza — you are missing out in life. Springfield Pizza is questioned by many as the best pizza in the land, that is until they try some.
Family Pizza has finally reopened and relocated (small fire in the basement of their old location). The new spot on Sumner Ave is perfect for this Pizzeria and Italian restaurant.
I also recommend the Chicken, Ziti, & Brocolli, other italian meals and of course their grinders.
